Homemade Sausages

Most kids love sausages don’t they? Harry does, and I find they are great to have in the freezer for emergency meals. I do sometimes struggle to find really good quality sausages, low in salt and full of good quality meat. It’s pretty rare and you really don’t want to know what’s in the not-so-good ones. So I have had a go at making my own. Harry doesn’t seem to know the difference, and I feel really good knowing exactly what is in them. I have also made these by putting the mixture on a paddle pop sick lamb kofta style, and they make a nice finger food when out and about.

You could add lots of other herbs and spices to these, or use a mixture of meats to change flavour and consistency. I would love to hear your ideas.

These freeze really well, you could make them and then freeze before cooking as this will keep them nice and moist when you do use them. You can also check out our freezer guide for more information.

Oh, and that’s our homemade tomato sauce in the picture – definitely worth a try for the saucy fans.

Nutrition Note: Homemade sausages are a quick and easy meal idea, high in protein, low in salt and iron-rich.  Serve with salad or vegetables for a very nutritious family friendly meal.
